Raffle tickets reminder as deadline nears

Don't forget the deadline for returning ticket stubs and monies for the PAC's Winter raffle, with 100 prizes topped by a catfish trip to Europe, is April 30. Winners will be drawn at the Annual Members Meeting in Nottingham next month.

Are you in the draw for the Golden Ticket..?

You are if you've bought a ticket for the PAC's Winter Mega Raffle, which has a week's catfish holiday in Spain as first prize and a host of other goodies.

One we haven't mentioned - until now - is the Golden Ticket. This gives you and a partner guaranteed access to a PAC Privileged Access Event next season.

That means you can bypass the draw and get a VIP place on the mighty Menteith, or any of the PAC's other fish-ins next year.

The motto of this story's easy. If you aren't in, you can't win. So make sure you buy a ticket. Or two...

iViva Espana if your number comes up

Imagine jetting off to sunny Spain for a week's all expenses-paid catfishing with top guide Martin Walker.

Beats staring at a river the colour of chocolate or watching the waves breaking over your rod tops on a loch or gravel pit any day.

Well that's exactly what's up for grabs as the first prize in the Pike Anglers Club's winter mega raffle.

All you've got to do is get there and all accommodation, food, tackle and bait are provided free of charge.

To whet your appetite, click here to have a gander at their website.

With a prize like that it's no wonder tickets are selling like hot cakes. But there's still time to order more if you've sold out - or fancy a few extra goes yourself.

Drop Mike an e-mail at m2mlk@btinternet.com to order more books (NB PAC members only...).

The draw will be held live at the AGM in May. And if you don't win the catfish holiday, there are dozens of other prizes you can win, including:
